Monday 🌔 OT, Full Moon Tomorrow, Just in Time for Election Day

Surely it means something, but what? If you're of a superstitious mindset, you might see this as an ominous portent for your party. I don't see the world that way, but let me know if a two headed calf was birthed recently, or the face of a dead relative shows up on your toast, or really anything that could be interpreted as an ill omen of supernatural origin.

From space.com:

The eclipse, dubbed the Beaver Blood Moon lunar eclipse since it occurs during November's Full Beaver Moon, will be visible across North America, the Pacific, Australia and Asia. During the eclipse, the full moon will pass through Earth's shadow as it moves behind our planet with respect to the sun, giving it a spectacular bloody color in the process. You can watch the total lunar eclipse on Space.com for free, courtesy of several webcasts from observatories across the United States.

That's right. At roughly 6 am EST, the Full Beaver Moon will become a Beaver Blood Moon lunar eclipse. Reads a bit like your pimply giggling teenager or jejune idiot roommate has been at the magnetic poetry tiles. Or perhaps a very specific kink for sky gazers. Anyhow it's not something I'd bring up at a fancy dinner party, not that I'm ever invited to them. At least, not anymore, not after the Great Fondue Disaster of '08.

How's everything going? Stressed about tomorrow's election? (I'm not really here. I never really was.)
